How's March going for you so far?
Didn't get round to posting yesterday. Started the day still feeling low. We've got some damage causing a leaking pipe that's got to be fixed and a damaged flat tyre on the car. I went on to spend some time crafting, which was really good. Also caught up with my regular favourite podcast: Neurotypicals Don't Juggle Chainsaws. Then the #Railnatter episode on Lilian Lawrence and other LGBTQIA+ experiences (thanks @transponderings for that link).
The first podcast was on decluttering. Later on I ended up making a purchase of something I regretted getting rid of about 15 years ago 🙄 🤣
This morning I've changed the bedding. Taking a little break now.

#Caturday & #Railnatter.

I can’t fix the world right now, and I have a headache.

But I can try to relax with cats & trains (& Gareth & Rocz!)

Hey! Do I know any queer british rail nerds? Do you?

Because the National Railway Museum are doing an oral history project, and they sound like awesome folks. So go talk to them! Case in point: The latest Railnatter where @GarethDennis talks with Ashlynn Hudson-Welburn about, among others, Curly Lawrence: highly influential model engineering pioneer, prolific author, and trans woman.

Airports hot take, inspired somewhat by yesterday's episode of #RailNatter about airports in the UK:

London's airports ought to have all been located like Gatwick right on the mainline railways. Gatwick, plus one on the Great Western Main Line (instead of Heathrow), one on the West Coast Main Line (instead of Luton), and one on the East Coast Main Line (instead of Stanstead).

Not a suggestion to move them now, but a lament at poor choices made.

Thanks to @GarethDennis for kindly inviting me...on the basis that I have one string to my banjo, I might as well keep twanging it...
